Très librement inspiré de l'oeuvre de Joseph Conrad, et plus particulièrement de "Du coeur des ténèbres", "Apocalypse now" narre le voyage d'un militaire américain chargé de retrouver et de neutraliser un colonel qui mène sa propre guerre avec ses propres lois dans la jungle vietnamienne. Le voyage dans l'horreur, stylisé comme un opéra de la mort, est aussi le trajet d'un cauchemar; ce que Willard trouve auprès de ce bouddha replet, c'est sa propre folie. Il touche au mythe de la mort et c'est un périple dont on ne revient pas intact. "Redux" ne signifie pas "réduit", au contraire, il s'agit de la version longue remontée par Coppola.

This book of photography represents National Geographic's Photo Ark, a major cross-platform initiative and lifelong project by photographer Joel Sartore to make portraits of the world's animals -- especially those that are endangered. His message: to know these animals is to save them. Sartore intends to photograph every animal in captivity in the world. He is circling the globe, visiting zoos and wildlife rescue centers to create studio portraits of 12,000 species, with an emphasis on those facing extinction. He has photographed more than 6,000 already and now, thanks to a multi-year partnership with National Geographic, he may reach his goal. This book showcases his animal portraits: from tiny to mammoth, from the Florida grasshopper sparrow to the greater one-horned rhinoceros. Paired with the prose of veteran wildlife writer Douglas Chadwick, this book presents an argument for saving all the species of our planet.

This selection of more than 700 mostly black-and-white photographs by Camilla McGrath is from a collection of 60,000 in 100 white leather bound albums covering the years 1948-1999. Camilla, one of four children of Count and Countess Pecci-Blunt, grew up with a mother who was passionate about the arts: she painted, had a small theater, an art gallery, La Cometa, in Rome, and one in New York, and collected celebrated artists, writers, dancers and choreographers who often visited Marlia, the grand palazzo they owned outside Lucca where she took pictures of them displayed at the pool house. Camilla started taking her own pictures in the late 40s. She was fluent in English and Italian since at the beginning of the war the family had fled first to Santa Barbara and later moved to 9 East 84th Street in New York where Camilla went to Spence. Once they returned to Italy, there were attempts to marry Camilla off to a well-to-do Italian but she rebelled against that life. These photographs document McGrath's life in the 50s on and off boats in the Mediterranean, at the Agnelli wedding outside Strasberg, skiing in the Italian alps or in New York with Cy Twombly to witness his marriage at City Hall. After meeting Earl McGrath in 1958 at the opening of Gian Carlo Menotti's Festival of the Two Worlds where they both were working, they would marry in 1963. Six years younger, Earl was handsome, very funny and outgoing, a survivor of a rough childhood in Wisconsin and the Merchant Mariner.

One of the most visually influential science fiction films ever made, Blade Runner has a history as labyrinthine as any of its futuristic film noir sets. A fascinatingly contemplative detective story about a world-weary android-killer and his renegade prey, it has attracted a sizeable cult audience and retains a unique place in cinema.Los Angeles, year 2019. Cynical ex-cop Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a retired assassin of rogue androids (called "replicants"). His former boss, Bryant (M. Emmet Walsh), presses him into service: he is to kill a group of physically superior replicants that are on the loose after escaping from an "off-world" colony. Deckard visits the Tyrell Corporation, where he encounters mogul Eldon Tyrell (Joseph Turkel) and his assistant, Rachael (Sean Young). Tyrell informs Deckard that Rachael is a new breed of replicant--implanted with memories, she believes herself to be human. Bent on speaking to Tyrell in order to find out what their "termination dates" are, two of the replicants--Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) and Pris (Daryl Hannah)--insinuate themselves into the home of geneticist J.F. Sebastian (William Sanderson), who created the replicant design for Tyrell. In the meantime, two more of the replicants have been disposed of and Deckard has become romantically obsessed with Rachael.
